Hero tag may well be dead, but I will give kudos to this woman for how she handled the situation. Due to a medical condition she dislocated her jaw, requiring a trip to the hospital. She, as a social media manager, sends a tweet basically praising the hospital for their treatment of her condition; however, thanks to how she dislocated her jaw, the story goes viral.instead of doing as I would expect and sueing the restaurant for having dangerous food or for not carrying to her "disability", she is owning the situation and laughing at herself. And this came from the Nanny State, one of the last places I would expect to see this behavior. So, again, good for her./You may return to your regularly scheduled snark.

perhaps you're wrong about it being a nanny state. or perhaps that's the wrong word for it

I've dislocated my jaw yawning before. I dislocated my jaw jumping into a cold pool before. And yes, I've dislocated my jaw eating, too. I have to be very careful eating and doing things like going to the dentist. It's never made national news.
